Safe whenever I push a button on my dvd/vcr player the word "safe" is displayed and the only way I can get it to do anything is thru the remote control...is there something I can do to stop this and use the buttons on the player itself. Thanks!

So you are saying I need a new DVD Combo player So you are saying I need a new DVD Combo player

The 79% who voted in favor of the comment about getting a new one so the buttons on the machine work along with the remote don't understand the "safe" option. What if you like violent or even porno movies and have a collection you don't want your kids to view when you're not home. You push the "safe" button on the remote and hide the remote. The kids try to use the player using its buttons and the player won't work. You want the buttons on the machine to work again? Just push "safe" on the remote again. I will admit that I was stymied when I accidently pushed "safe" and the machine buttons wouldn't work, until I got to this site and read the comment that was more illuminating than this one.
